Look to your
Toenails
For lessons in
Personal hurts.
Painting your
Fingers
Shows all the world
Your chips
and Flaws
And the color fades
From them Fast,
So fast.
The stains are purged
at your pleasure.
On your toes,
Hidden beneath
Shoes and Socks
The color lasts,
The flaking chips last.
All flaws are Slow,
So slow
To fade when they are
Painted on your toes.
